Selecting from the List of Tables Using the cursor keys the user can highlight a desired table and press [Enter] to select. The user can also press the [F1] key for the Subject Locator. This list quickly identifies the SSTF tables by subject. A table can be selected from here or the user can return to the List of Tables by pressing the [Esc] key. Displaying the Data The user has several options when viewing the data by pressing one of the following keys: T Selects another table. R Allows the user to select a different Race/Ethnicity, then displays the data. This key will not be in operation when viewing a "PA" or "HA" table because these tables are not broken down by race. G Allows the user to select a different Geographic Area, then displays the data. S Allows the user to select a different sub-group for the selected table. Example: the user displays data for males, the user can select females and view that data without re-selecting a new table. P Allows the user to print the selected table as displayed on the screen to a printer or to a print file. C Allows the user to copy records for the selected table to a file (see Copy Function below).

Copy Function Users can copy records from the SSTF datafile to various file formats (i.e. ASCII, ASCII delimited, dBase, Lotus). There are two options for copying records for a selected table: Option 1: Copy records for the selected sub-groups in a selected table for selected geographic areas and /or selected races/ethnicities. This option allows the user to selected from the lists of races/ethnicities and/or geographic areas for the pre- selected sub-groups. Option 2: Copy records for the complete table for a selected geographic area and race/ethnicity. The user can copy a file for either option to an ASCII, ASCII (delimited), dBase, or Lotus file format. Both options allow the user to create technical documentation for the generated output file. The created technical documentation lists the fields as well as their descriptions, field length, and character type. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
